Abstract
A cooling system includes a heat sink to absorb heat that is generated by a component of a device, where the heat sink includes a base to dissipate the heat, and a group of fins via which the heat, that is dissipated by the base, is transferred; and an inverted heat sink to receive the heat via the fins. The inverted heat sink includes another base to prevent a portion of the heat, transferred into an environment where another component is located, from causing a temperature, of the environment, to increase above a threshold; a heat pipe to transfer another portion of the heat, not transferred into the environment, to a portion of the other base; and another group of fins to receive the other portion of the heat via the portion of the other base. The inverted heat sink is also to transfer the other portion of the heat to another environment to prevent a temperature, of the component, from increasing above another threshold.
